General Information:
CIM_System represents an entity made up of 
component parts (defined by the SystemComponent relationship), that operates as 
a 'functional whole'. Systems are top-level objects in the CIM hierarchy, 
requiring no scoping or weak relationships in order to exist and have context. 
It should be reasonable to uniquely name and manage a System at an enterprise 
level. For example, a ComputerSystem is a kind of System that can be uniquely 
named and independently managed in an enterprise. However, these qualities are 
not true for the power supply (or the power supply sub-'system') within the 
computer. 

Although a System can be viewed as a Collection, this view is 
not the correct model. A Collection is simply a 'bag' that 'holds' its members. 
A System is a higher-level abstraction, built out of its individual components. 
It is more than the sum of its parts. Note that System is a subclass of 
EnabledLogicalElement which allows the entire abstraction to be functionally 
enabled or disabled at a higher level than enabling or disabling its component 
parts.

    Field 
Detail


TimeOfLastStateChange 
public datetime TimeOfLastStateChange



  
General Information:
The date or time when the EnabledState of 
  the element last changed. If the state of the element has not changed and this 
  property is populated, then it must be set to a 0 interval value. If a state 
  change was requested, but rejected or not yet processed, the property must not 
  be updated.

  

  





EnabledDefault 
public uint16 EnabledDefault



  
General Information:
An enumerated value indicating an 
  administrator's default or startup configuration for the Enabled State of an 
  element. By default, the element is "Enabled" 
  (value=2).

  Reserved}


  

  





RequestedState 
public uint16 RequestedState



  
General Information:
RequestedState is an integer enumeration 
  that indicates the last requested or desired state for the element, 
  irrespective of the mechanism through which it was requested. The actual state 
  of the element is represented by EnabledState. This property is provided to 
  compare the last requested and current enabled or disabled states. Note that 
  when EnabledState is set to 5 ("Not Applicable"), then this property has no 
  meaning. Refer to the EnabledState property description for explanations of 
  the values in the RequestedState enumeration. 
"Unknown" (0) indicates the 
  last requested state for the element is unknown.
Note that the value "No 
  Change" (5) has been deprecated in lieu of indicating the last requested state 
  is "Unknown" (0). If the last requested or desired state is unknown, 
  RequestedState should have the value "Unknown" (0), but may have the value "No 
  Change" (5).Offline (6) indicates that the element has been requested to 
  transition to the Enabled but Offline EnabledState. 
It should be noted 
  that there are two new values in RequestedState that build on the statuses of 
  EnabledState. These are "Reboot" (10) and "Reset" (11). Reboot refers to doing 
  a "Shut Down" and then moving to an "Enabled" state. Reset indicates that the 
  element is first "Disabled" and then "Enabled". The distinction between 
  requesting "Shut Down" and "Disabled" should also be noted. Shut Down requests 
  an orderly transition to the Disabled state, and might involve removing power, 
  to completely erase any existing state. The Disabled state requests an 
  immediate disabling of the element, such that it will not execute or accept 
  any commands or processing requests. 

This property is set as the 
  result of a method invocation (such as Start or StopService on CIM_Service), 
  or can be overridden and defined as WRITEable in a subclass. The method 
  approach is considered superior to a WRITEable property, because it allows an 
  explicit invocation of the operation and the return of a result code. 
  

If knowledge of the last RequestedState is not supported for the 
  EnabledLogicalElement, the property shall be NULL or have the value 12 "Not 
  Applicable".

EnabledState 
public uint16 EnabledState



  
General Information:
EnabledState is an integer enumeration that 
  indicates the enabled and disabled states of an element. It can also indicate 
  the transitions between these requested states. For example, shutting down 
  (value=4) and starting (value=10) are transient states between enabled and 
  disabled. The following text briefly summarizes the various enabled and 
  disabled states: 
Enabled (2) indicates that the element is or could be 
  executing commands, will process any queued commands, and queues new requests. 
  
Disabled (3) indicates that the element will not execute commands and will 
  drop any new requests. 
Shutting Down (4) indicates that the element is in 
  the process of going to a Disabled state. 
Not Applicable (5) indicates the 
  element does not support being enabled or disabled. 
Enabled but Offline 
  (6) indicates that the element might be completing commands, and will drop any 
  new requests. 
Test (7) indicates that the element is in a test state. 
  
Deferred (8) indicates that the element might be completing commands, but 
  will queue any new requests. 
Quiesce (9) indicates that the element is 
  enabled but in a restricted mode.
Starting (10) indicates that the element 
  is in the process of going to an Enabled state. New requests are 
  queued.

HealthState 
public uint16 HealthState



  
General Information:
Indicates the current health of the 
  element. This attribute expresses the health of this element but not 
  necessarily that of its subcomponents. The possible values are 0 to 30, where 
  5 means the element is entirely healthy and 30 means the element is completely 
  non-functional. The following continuum is defined: 
"Non-recoverable 
  Error" (30) - The element has completely failed, and recovery is not possible. 
  All functionality provided by this element has been lost. 
"Critical 
  Failure" (25) - The element is non-functional and recovery might not be 
  possible. 
"Major Failure" (20) - The element is failing. It is possible 
  that some or all of the functionality of this component is degraded or not 
  working. 
"Minor Failure" (15) - All functionality is available but some 
  might be degraded. 
"Degraded/Warning" (10) - The element is in working 
  order and all functionality is provided. However, the element is not working 
  to the best of its abilities. For example, the element might not be operating 
  at optimal performance or it might be reporting recoverable errors. 
"OK" 
  (5) - The element is fully functional and is operating within normal 
  operational parameters and without error. 
"Unknown" (0) - The 
  implementation cannot report on HealthState at this time. 
DMTF has 
  reserved the unused portion of the continuum for additional HealthStates in 
  the future.

Status 
public string Status



  
General Information:
A string indicating the current status of 
  the object. Various operational and non-operational statuses are defined. This 
  property is deprecated in lieu of OperationalStatus, which includes the same 
  semantics in its enumeration. This change is made for 3 reasons: 
1) Status 
  is more correctly defined as an array. This definition overcomes the 
  limitation of describing status using a single value, when it is really a 
  multi-valued property (for example, an element might be OK AND Stopped. 
2) 
  A MaxLen of 10 is too restrictive and leads to unclear enumerated values. 
  
3) The change to a uint16 data type was discussed when CIM V2.0 was 
  defined. However, existing V1.0 implementations used the string property and 
  did not want to modify their code. Therefore, Status was grandfathered into 
  the Schema. Use of the deprecated qualifier allows the maintenance of the 
  existing property, but also permits an improved definition using 
  OperationalStatus.

StatusDescriptions 
public string[] StatusDescriptions



  
General Information:
Strings describing the various 
  OperationalStatus array values. For example, if "Stopping" is the value 
  assigned to OperationalStatus, then this property may contain an explanation 
  as to why an object is being stopped. Note that entries in this array are 
  correlated with those at the same array index in 
  OperationalStatus.

OperationalStatus 
public uint16[] OperationalStatus



  
General Information:
Indicates the current statuses of the 
  element. Various operational statuses are defined. Many of the enumeration's 
  values are self-explanatory. However, a few are not and are described here in 
  more detail. 
"Stressed" indicates that the element is functioning, but 
  needs attention. Examples of "Stressed" states are overload, overheated, and 
  so on. 
"Predictive Failure" indicates that an element is functioning 
  nominally but predicting a failure in the near future. 
"In Service" 
  describes an element being configured, maintained, cleaned, or otherwise 
  administered. 
"No Contact" indicates that the monitoring system has 
  knowledge of this element, but has never been able to establish communications 
  with it. 
"Lost Communication" indicates that the ManagedSystem Element is 
  known to exist and has been contacted successfully in the past, but is 
  currently unreachable. 
"Stopped" and "Aborted" are similar, although the 
  former implies a clean and orderly stop, while the latter implies an abrupt 
  stop where the state and configuration of the element might need to be 
  updated. 
"Dormant" indicates that the element is inactive or quiesced. 
  
"Supporting Entity in Error" indicates that this element might be "OK" but 
  that another element, on which it is dependent, is in error. An example is a 
  network service or endpoint that cannot function due to lower-layer networking 
  problems. 
"Completed" indicates that the element has completed its 
  operation. This value should be combined with either OK, Error, or Degraded so 
  that a client can tell if the complete operation Completed with OK (passed), 
  Completed with Error (failed), or Completed with Degraded (the operation 
  finished, but it did not complete OK or did not report an error). 
"Power 
  Mode" indicates that the element has additional power model information 
  contained in the Associated PowerManagementService association. 
  
"Relocating" indicates the element is being 
  relocated.
OperationalStatus replaces the Status property on 
  ManagedSystemElement to provide a consistent approach to enumerations, to 
  address implementation needs for an array property, and to provide a migration 
  path from today's environment to the future. This change was not made earlier 
  because it required the deprecated qualifier. Due to the widespread use of the 
  existing Status property in management applications, it is strongly 
  recommended that providers or instrumentation provide both the Status and 
  OperationalStatus properties. Further, the first value of OperationalStatus 
  should contain the primary status for the element. When instrumented, Status 
  (because it is single-valued) should also provide the primary status of the 
  element.

public string ElementName



  
General Information:
A user-friendly name for the object. This

  its key properties, identity data, and description information. 
Note that 
  the Name property of ManagedSystemElement is also defined as a user-friendly 
  name. But, it is often subclassed to be a Key. It is not reasonable that the 
  same property can convey both identity and a user-friendly name, without 
  inconsistencies. Where Name exists and is not a Key (such as for instances of 
  LogicalDevice), the same information can be present in both the Name and 
  ElementName properties. Note that if there is an associated instance of 
  CIM_EnabledLogicalElementCapabilities, restrictions on this properties may 
  exist as defined in ElementNameMask and MaxElementNameLen properties defined 
  in that 
class.

RequestStateChange
public uint32 RequestStateChange([IN]uint16 RequestedState, [OUT]REF CIM_ConcreteJob Job, [IN]datetime TimeoutPeriod)



  
Permission Information:
No permissions defined

General 
  Information:
Requests that the state of the element be changed to the 
  value specified in the RequestedState parameter. When the requested state 
  change takes place, the EnabledState and RequestedState of the element will be 
  the same. Invoking the RequestStateChange method multiple times could result 
  in earlier requests being overwritten or lost. 
A return code of 0 shall 
  indicate the state change was successfully initiated. 
A return code of 3 
  shall indicate that the state transition cannot complete within the interval 
  specified by the TimeoutPeriod parameter. 
A return code of 4096 (0x1000) 
  shall indicate the state change was successfully initiated, a ConcreteJob has 
  been created, and its reference returned in the output parameter Job. Any 
  other return code indicates an error
